Kefalonia

Both “the jewel” and the largest of the Ionian islands, Kefalonia combines countless beaches with dramatic scenery under an achingly blue sky.

Lying opposite the mouth of the Gulf of Corinth and just sixty miles south of Paxos, Kefalonia is ringed with countless bays and inlets. There are beaches of spectacular white coral, while on the south coast the beaches are of fine golden sand that shelve gently under an aquamarine sea, making them perfect for children.
